• Description:
  Previous studies on the effects of highway construction upon land use have focused mainly upon the effects of the construction of new highways. In view of a new emphasis upon upgrading and expanding existing facilities rather than building new ones, the need arises for information concerning the effects of such improvements upon land use. This report relates the findings of research done in an area of Arlington, Texas where a section of Collins Street was upgraded from a 40-foot, two-lane road with parallel parking and curbs and gutters to an 84-foot, six-lane road with a continuous left turn lane and curbs and gutters. The improvement took place in a developed area where the predominant land use was residential. Land use changes were analyzed for both abutting and nonabutting properties that might have been affected by the road improvement. Data were collected for a period including five years before planning for the specific improvement began up to the end of 1978.
